Nah. [ In response to her second question, that is. ]

I'd do the same, for my girl.

( buffy, who cannot reasonably pretend she doesn't know who exactly spike is talking about — )

your wife. yup.

[chipped]

Wouldn't need a ring on it to defend my love from some brain-washed poser.

[bronze]

( he always throws out love like it's candy on halloween. hard pivot, )

how did we get on this subject? we were talking about gale.
you can't bite people. not even for a "nibble." that's so gross.

Well, what if they like when I bite them.

[bronze]

do you remember what a vampire bite feels like? it feels like someone poured gasoline on your veins, and like a bear trap is clamped on your throat trying to snap bones in half, and you get really cold while your blood empties out, and you can hear them swallow, not really with your ears, but your body. it feels like dying, and dying so something else can live. so it feels like losing, too.
who would like that?

( other than somebody who likes to suffer, like say, buffy summers. she never really forgot about what it felt like to have angel's teeth in her throat — maybe she thinks about it more often than she'd care to admit. scared, and also not scared. there are worse things than dying, after all, like being brought back. )

i guess
dracula's fangs weren't as bad, but you're no count, spike.

Come on, Slayer. Got me all revved up and then had to kill it by bringing my rival in

how do you even know dracula? did you guys use to hit the same slavic nightclubs a thousand years ago?

As usual, the lady doth protest too much

[chipped]

You ever been to a Slavic nightclub? Smell more like stale cigarettes than I do

Old Drac was a big fan of the clan that cursed Angel, which also meant he was not a big fan of us when we slaughtered them all.

🖕
i've never been out of the country before this

wait really??

( it probably should not be shocking to hear "historically famous vampire actually sucky bad man", and it really isn't, except that buffy still holds a weird candle for dracula. to be fair, he was really charming. )

you know
i tasted his blood a little
blegh

[chipped]

Bet he tells the girls it tastes like grave violets and black velvet or some other romance novel nonsense
